Answer to Question 1

B
Invalidism develops over time when a person continues to have a perception of poor health, prolonged emotional distress, and interpersonal dependency for reassurance and attention. This can lead to learned helplessness and invalidism. Interrole conflict is when the expectations of one role oppose the expectations of another role. Role overload is when excessive demands of numerous roles have conflicting priorities. Interpersonal role conflict is when incompatible role expectations are held by one or more people.

Answer to Question 2

D
Solid foods are usually introduced at 4 to 6 months of age. Rice cereal is the first solid food of choice because it has the fewest allergic responses.
